Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of patients with an actionable genotype related to a medicine they are currently, or have previously been, prescribed. Genotype-phenotype relationships will be assigned where there is high-level PharmGKB evidence for clinical actionability (Levels 1A or 1B). This will be expressed as a percentage of the whole study cohort (i.e. number of individuals with an actionable variant receiving a corresponding medicine/the total study cohort). Sub analyses will be undertaken by age and comorbid state. For the inpatient cohort (IPTIP-I) hospital prescriptions will be assessed at a single timepoint during the admission following recruitment. For both cohorts (IPTIP-I and IPTIP-O), Historical GP medicine records will be accessed at a single timepoint after recruitment has closed. Genetic data will be generated for all participants once recruitment has closed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 16/10/2023: 1. Medicine exposure by British National Formulary (BNF) class will be presented with sub-analysis by age group, sex, and the presence of recorded co-morbidities. Analysis will be presented for the whole cohort, and separately for inpatient and outpatient arms. This will be presented as a percentage of individuals within the whole cohort, or given sub-group, exposed to a particular medicine class. 2. Genotype and metaboliser frequencies, derived using CPIC guidelines, will be presented for the whole cohort. These frequencies, presented as percentages, will then be analysed by age, sex, and ethnicity. 3. Clinical outcomes based on the presence of clinically relevant variants (primary outcome measure) measured using analysis of the patient's healthcare record. For the inpatient cohort (IPTIP-I) hospital prescriptions will be assessed at a single timepoint during the admission following recruitment. For both cohorts (IPTIP-I and IPTIP-O), Historical GP medicine records will be accessed at a single timepoint after recruitment has closed. Genetic data will be generated for all participants once recruitment has closed. Previous secondary outcome measures: 1.
